"We have already witnessed the terrifying might caused by the Power of Abundance. That inexhaustible vitality comes from drawing upon the things it attaches itself to. As descendants of the Xianzhou who ate the fruits of the Ambrosial Arbor, perhaps cells with plant-like characteristics had already been born within their bodies under the fruit's influence back then."
"Normally, these plant-like cells remain dormant. Once their host becomes unstable and is affected by intense emotions, they are stimulated to sprout. That is why Cloud Knights undergoing mara have plant-like features resembling ginkgo branches and leaves growing from their bodies."
Theresa voiced her thoughts after some contemplation.
"Indeed, indeed. Outsiders see longevity as a trait we take pride in, yet they have no idea how severe the harm caused by mara is. And because of the Ambrosial Arbor, the Xianzhou has repeatedly suffered attacks from those Abundance People. Every time, they bring immense disaster, causing countless calamities and massacres. Ah, it truly leaves all living things in misery."
Master Gongshu sighed and gave a bitter smile. How to deal with the Ambrosial Arbor had always been a source of distress for the Xianzhou people, not to mention that it had now revived, making matters even more troublesome.
